Residential General (RG) District. The Residential General District is designed to allow a variety of housing types and supporting facilities, including recreational, educational and religious uses, which complement and make more practical medium densities of residential development. This district shall normally be located with relatively easy vehicular and/or pedestrian access to business or commercial areas, and public utilities shall be available prior to the time of zoning. F. Residential Apartment (RA) District. The Residential Apartment District is designed primarily to allow moderate- to high-density multifamily developments of varying sizes and types in areas where such advantages as public facilities, utilities, transportation facilities, places of employment and/or commercial facilities are present, coupled with an attractive or particularly convenient site. G. Urban Commercial (UC) District. The Urban Commercial District is designed in recognition of the fact that historically commerce and business tended to concentrate in a central area and that over the years the area has expanded outward from its traditional center along the major roadways. The area also features residential parcels that are transitioning to feature more density or to other uses, such as professional offices or personal services. The intent of this district is to permit expansion of existing uses or the redevelopment of parcels to new or different uses. The district will also provide opportunities, incentives and requirements to acknowledge and respect the Winnipesaukee River in the downtown area between Lake Opechee and Lake Winnisquam. The river is a focal point in the City's history and heritage and should be a critical factor in any redevelopment within the district. The district is defined as outlined on the official Zoning Map.
